And another one, a limerick by Gamow:


Quote:
There was a young fellow from Trinity
Who took √ ∞. (square root of infinity)
But the number of digits
Gave him the fidgits;
He dropped Maths and took up Divinity.

Media manipulation in the U.S. today is more efficient than it was in Nazi Germany, because here we have the pretense that we are getting all the information we want. That misconception prevents people from even looking for the truth.

Blah, whatever, too much drama. I'm looking forward to Wolverine origins. That should have plenty of good old-fashioned American-style murdering

This is actually a comment on the subject of a new strategy title called "Age of Booty"

Gamespot link

Quote:
"Little-known fact: Nestled quietly between the Age of Discovery and the Age of Enlightenment was, in fact, the Age of Booty."

Back in my youth I think we just called it college

On the subject of pulling the plug on C&C Tiberium - fp shooter.

Quote:
EA won't sign off on any new project that doesn't incorporate multiplayer, Acti-Blizzard won't green light a non-series product (single game, no sequels). I remember seeing screen shots of Tiberium that looked close to ready, so it would make sense that the multiplayer would be the reason to shut it down if the single player was so close. With both major publishers unwilling to gamble on new IPs that stray from the tried and true formula, we aren't going to see very many high quality, original games in the future. Say hello to "Guitar Hero 12: Emo Star", and "Battlefield 19: Streets of LA"

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're going
Or which way the wind is blowing
Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Oh, the fires of hell are glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes! The danger must be growing (Faster! Faster!)
For the rowers keep on rowing (Faster! Faster!)
And they're certainly not showing (Faster! Faster!)
Any signs that they are slowing (Faster! Faster!)
Stop the boat.

Roald Dahl - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Heh, cool. This is a poem from Baudelaire's "les fleurs du mal". It's better in the original French but meh. In case you didn't get it from reading the poem, it's about self-torment.



Heautontimoroumenos*

I will strike you without anger
And without hatred, like a butcher,
Like Moses the rock!
And I will force from your eyes,

To water my Sahara,
The waters of suffering.
My desire, swollen with hope,
Will swim upon your salted tears

Like a ship taking to the open sea,
And in my heart, which they intoxicate,
Your dear sobs will echo
Like a drum sounding the charge!

Am I not a false note
In the divine harmony,
Thanks to the voracious Irony
That shakes me and bites me?

She is in my voice, the shrew!
All of my blood is made of this black poison!
I am the sinister mirror
In which the Fury gazes at herself.

I am the wound and the knife!
I am the slap and the cheek!
I am the limbs and the rack,
And the victim and the executioner!

I am the vampire of my own heart,
— One of the great abandoned,
Condemned to eternal laughter,
And who can no longer smile!

This happened to me really, and back in the year 2000.

Quote:
I was answering the question of my classmates, who asked me what topic will we be doing today in the class of physics. Thereby came another classmate, who heard our speech.

Me: We're going to have a lecture on particle accelerators.
Guy: OH, come on you and your nerdish BS! Why do you have to infect the sane people with that? Wake up! Particle accelerators don't exist. And turn your TV off, you watched too much episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Me: (Laughs on the guy, who was anyway leaving, still thinking I was kind of BS-ting.)

(A bit time has passed, the teacher enters the room)

Teacher: Today we will have a lecture on particle accelerators...
Guy: (turns and stares at me in horror, and incapability to accept the reality: PA exist!)

I'm probably not following you, but didn't PA's exist long before 2000?

Of course they did. The guy just thought it a fiction from TMNT.

lol, yea, there've been particle accelerators around for decades, probably. They started off as little devices in labs (little being a relative term).

linky:

First particle accelerator, circa 1930.
